-Una habilidad clave que se puede aprender es cómo identificar los signos que contribuyen al éxito financiero.
¿Cuál es la diferencia entre el juego de estatus y el juego de riqueza?
-El juego de estatus se basa en superar a los demás en términos de posesiones materiales y percepciones externas, mientras que el juego de riqueza se enfoca en la construcción de bienestar financiero a largo plazo, incluyendo inversiones, ahorros y desarrollo personal.
¿Por qué es perjudicial jugar el juego de estatus?
-Jugar el juego de estatus puede hacer que uno se sienta constantemente en competencia, frustrado y envidiado, ya que implica que otros tengan que perder para que uno gane, lo que promueve una actitud negativa y una sensación constante de inseguridad.
¿Qué se sugiere en lugar de compararse con los demás en términos de ingresos?
-En lugar de compararse con los demás, se sugiere enfocarse en la construcción de riqueza a través de la inversión, el ahorro y el desarrollo personal, ya que estos son factores que pueden llevar a una mayor libertad y capacidad para vivir según sus propios términos.
¿Qué es la 'regla de los tres fundamentos' y cuáles son sus componentes?
-La 'regla de los tres fundamentos' se refiere a tres aspectos clave para la gestión financiera:知情自己的财务状况,拥有紧急储备金,以及拥有可管理的债务。
¿Por qué es importante estar al tanto de su relación con el dinero?

¿Qué es un 'búfer de emergencia' y por qué es necesario?
-Un 'búfer de emergencia' es una cantidad específica de ahorros a los que puedes acceder en caso de emergencia. Es necesario porque te proporciona una red de seguridad financiera en situaciones imprevistas y te pone por delante de muchas personas en términos de preparación para enfrentar desafíos económicos.
¿Cómo afecta la 'aversión a la pérdida' nuestra percepción de nuestro éxito financiero?
-La 'aversión a la pérdida' es un concepto psicológico que indica que el dolor de perder es dos veces más poderoso que el placer de ganar. Esto significa que, aunque podamos tener un rendimiento financiero bueno, es más fácil sentirnos mal acerca de nuestros ingresos que sentirnos bien, lo que nos puede mantener en un ciclo de descontento continuo.
¿Cómo podemos escapar de la comparación constante con los demás?
-Podemos escapar de la comparación constante cambiando nuestra perspectiva y evaluando nuestro éxito financiero en términos de nuestro propio progreso y logros individuales, en lugar de basarnos en las expectativas y normas sociales.
¿Qué nos dice la cita que se menciona en el video sobre cambiar nuestra perspectiva?
-La cita menciona que si cambiamos la forma en que vemos las cosas, las cosas en sí mismas cambiarán para nosotros. Esto implica que, al enfocarnos en nuestra propia evaluación personal de éxito en lugar de las comparaciones sociales, podemos liberarnos de las expectativas y vivir de acuerdo con nuestros propios valores y logros.
¿Qué consejo se da al final del video para las personas que se sienten atrasadas financieramente?
-El consejo es que, en lugar de compararse con los demás y sentirse descontentos, deberíamos recordarnos que probablemente estemos haciendo mejor de lo que pensamos, y que debemos enfocarnos en nuestro propio progreso y logros individuales para encontrar satisfacción y éxito financiero a largo plazo.
Outlines
🎲 Jugar el Juego Correcto para el Éxito Financiero
Este párrafo discute la importancia de elegir el juego adecuado para medir el éxito financiero. Se explica que las personas a menudo se sienten atrasadas financieramente porque están jugando el juego equivocado, es decir, el juego de estatus, que involucra intentar superar a los demás en términos materiales. Se menciona la perspectiva de Nevada sobre por qué se debe evitar el juego de estatus y cómo se puede influir negativamente en la actitud y el bienestar emocional de una persona. En cambio, se presenta el juego de riqueza, que se centra en la construcción de riqueza a largo plazo y en la libertad personal, en lugar de en la comparación superficial con los demás.

En este párrafo se explora la cuestión de la percepción de la riqueza en relación con los ingresos y las expectativas sociales. Se mencionan las cifras promedio de salarios en Reino Unido y Estados Unidos, y se cuestiona su relevancia real para la autoevaluación financiera. Se discute la influencia de los amigos y pares en nuestra percepción de éxito financiero y se introduce el concepto de pérdida aversión, que sugiere que la sensación de pérdida es más poderosa que la de ganancia. Se sugiere que, independientemente de los ingresos, es más fácil sentirse mal que bien acerca de ellos, y se recomienda centrarse en la mejora personal y en las metas individuales en lugar de compararse con los demás.

Highlights
The speaker has over 13 years of experience in finance, including studying and working in the field.
One key skill for financial success is recognizing the signs that indicate how well you are doing financially.
There are two games people play in terms of financial success: the status game and the wealth game.
The status game involves comparing oneself to others based on external appearances and possessions.
The wealth game focuses on behind-the-scenes financial health, such as savings, investments, and self-development.
The status game is likened to a movie trailer, showing only the best parts and not the full picture.
Loss aversion is a psychological concept where the pain of losing is felt more intensely than the pleasure of gaining.
People's self-evaluation of financial success is more influenced by their peers than by societal standards.
The average annual salary in the UK is £27,756, and in the US, it is $59,428 according to ONS and Forbes respectively.
Having an emergency fund is crucial; 40% of UK residents and only 39% of Americans could cover an unexpected $1,000 expense.
Manageable debt is a part of financial health; the average American has $32,878 in debt, excluding mortgages.
Three fundamentals for financial success include understanding your financial health, having an emergency buffer, and managing debt.
A personal evaluation of success, rather than societal comparison, can lead to a more satisfying and contented financial life.
The speaker offers a free financial tracker tool for viewers to better understand their financial situation.
The perception of financial success is greatly influenced by societal expectations and comparisons.
By focusing on individual success rather than societal benchmarks, one can achieve a sense of freedom and contentment.
Transcripts
through being in some form of Finance related environment for over 13 years three years
studying finance and then a further nine years working in banking one of the key skills I've
learned is how to spot the signs that contribute to financial success so in this video I wanted to
share with you four things that tend to dictate whether or not you're doing well financially how
reliable those four things are and how to stay on track number one are you playing the right game
there are two games you can play to measure your financial success and one of the main
reasons people tend to feel behind financially is because they are playing the wrong one they
are playing the status game where we're all trying to one-up each other I really like the
way Nevada talks about the status game he says the problem is that to win a status game you
have to put somebody else down and that's why you should avoid playing status games in life because
it makes you a very competitive it makes you a angry person you're always fighting to put other
people down to put yourself up the status game is an external ranking to everyone else the size of
your home the brand of your shoes and everything else that you can see and compare yourself to on
social media for instance say I bought a Porsche that will only improve my status if you don't have
one if everyone else has one it doesn't help me climb up the ladder so you're using other people
as a reference to where you are the issue is that when you start playing this game and comparing
internally with everyone else's projections you're constantly going to feel on edge because
someone else has to lose for someone else to be able to win and there's a sentence in the book
The Millionaire Next Door which reads wealth is not the same as income if you make a good income
each year and spend it all you're not getting wealthier you are just living high that leads
me to the second game you can play which is the wealth game this isn't about what everyone else
can see but instead it's about what's going on behind the scenes it's the money in the bank that
is being invested into assets is the business that you're trying to build on the side it's the money
that you're spending on self-development it's all the things that have a positive Roi and that can
ultimately buy you freedom and buy you the power to live life on your own terms the key is to make
sure your evaluation of financial success isn't based on the status game once you wrap your head
around that you will realize you're doing far or better than you think you are financially because
the status game is only like a movie trailer it shows you the best bits and leaves the rest out
that leads me to the second point which is how much should you be earning one way to know where
you stand financially is by looking at the average wages and according to the ons the average annual
salary in the UK is 27 756 pounds and the average salary Nationwide in the US according to Forbes is
59 428 the truth is these numbers actually make very little difference to how we see ourselves
because firstly according to research it's our own friends and our peers that have a bigger influence
on our self-evaluation or financial excess rather than society as a whole and secondly no matter how
much we earn it's psychologically easier to feel bad bad about that number then feel good about it
there is a concept called loss aversion which is that the pain of losing is psychologically
twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining for instance if we found a hundred dollars on the
ground we would be thrilled it would make our day but if we lost that same 100 our pain would be far
bigger than the initial joy that we found in the same thing according to a research paper on social
comparison the same concept can be applied to our earnings if you found out you earn more money than
your friends or your colleagues you might feel slightly more content with your earnings but
that feeling would fade pretty quickly but on the other hand if you found out you're earning
less money than them that would have a way bigger impact on your happiness levels and you'd feel a
lot less satisfied with how much you're making we can be outperforming 99 of the people around us
but if there's even one person in our Circle who appears to be doing better it can make us question
our own success and the worst part is without knowing this psychologically will keep us in a
never-ending cycle of discontent and as we rise through the ranks and make more money and level
up so to speak so does our peer group and The Benchmark We compare ourselves to so how does
one escape this I'll go into the actionable points that you can do in just a moment but
firstly let's talk about rule number three which is getting the three fundamentals right number
one the first of the three fundamentals is to be fully aware of your relationship with money this
means knowing your Financial Health your income and your expenses and then finding ways to live
below your means in other words increase your income and or reduce your outgoing so that you
have enough money left over to save or invest in some form of another one way to do this is
through using a Tracker that can show you where you stand financially and if you're spending less
than you earn I have a free one that you can use in my description box which really Dives deep into
every category of your life so you can be fully aware of your relationship with money that leads
me to the second fundamental which is having an emergency buffer this is a specific amount of
savings you would have access to in the case of an emergency and having this one thing alone sets
you way ahead of a lot of the population in fact 40 of the people in the UK don't even have one
month of living expenses to support them if they lost their income and only 39 of Americans could
cover a one thousand dollar unexpected expense if you have a healthy emergency fund tucked away
even just one month of living expenses to start with you're doing a lot better than most people
and then the final part of these three is far easier said than done especially in the current
climate and that is to have manageable debt this isn't just about using debt to buy things you
don't need it also means not finding yourself in a position where debt is the only way you can play
your bills on time the average American has 32 878 dollars in depth not including their mortgage and
UK credit card debt is at an all-time high 46 of 25 to 34 year olds have taken out an additional
credit card which according to UK economists such just that people are boring more to protect their
Lifestyles from The Surge and inflation so this just goes to show if you're able to save a portion
of your income have an emergency fund and you're able to pay your bills on time without going into
debt you are way ahead of most people but after knowing that how does it make you feel any better
probably not loss aversion and that's where the fourth rule comes in and that is to use the lens
of an individual rather than Society there is a quote that is if you change the way you look at
things the things you look at change as I was doing the research for this video and drawing
back on my own experiences a Common Thread became really clear to me in all of this and that is our
perception of how well we're doing is massively driven by society's expectations and comparisons
massively without a doubt Society applauds lavish Lifestyles external rankings monetary achievements
but if we rewire our thoughts to look at our own Success Through The Eyes of us as an individual
as opposed to Through The Eyes of society we can see ourselves from a completely different
lens and when you do this it sets you free from comparison until gets you free from expectations
it gives you the freedom from not having to play the game where other people are making the rules
status games entirely he says you should think about how you'd answer this question would you
rather be the world's greatest lover but have everyone think that you're the world's worst
lover or would you rather be the world's worst lover but everyone else think that you're the
world's best in other words would you rather be at the top of your ladder socially even if you're not
and you're a complete fraud or would you be at the bottom of your ladder socially knowing deep down
yourself that your number one so those are the four fundamentals that tend to dictate whether
or not we're doing financially and how on track or off track they are thank you for watching if
you like this video feel free to share it with someone who might be feeling financially behind
but needs a little bit of reminder that they are actually on track I hope to see you next week
